Humbucker Bridge Tonerider, Alnico 2 Plus – Standard Format
Are you looking for the warm and expressive tone of 50s humbuckers, but with more power and presence in the mix? The Alnico 2 Plus Bridge is designed for guitarists who want to capture that vintage character while benefiting from extra bite for rock, blues, hard rock, or punk.
Thanks to its Rough Cast Alnico 2 magnet and slightly overwound coil, this humbucker delivers a sound rich in mids, precise highs, and excellent dynamics. It retains all the warmth and musicality of vintage pickups while offering more punch and sustain for powerful solos and riffs.
